'You will get spaces' - How Bournemouth planned Manchester United victory
09.12.2023 - 19:17 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola said he knew his team would get chances against Manchester United because of the number of players the home side commit to attacking moves.
The Cherries boss set up his wide to try and take advantage of United in wide areas, which he felt is a strength for Erik ten Hag's side but also a potential weakness, given the number of players he throws forward.
United have found it difficult to contain counter attacks all season and continue to look too open in games, with Bournemouth exploiting those opportunities perfectly in their 3-0 win at Old Trafford.

"When you come to a stadium like this you know they’re very strong, especially in wide areas, full-backs overlapping and underlapping, wingers very dangerous in one-v-one, you know you have to be very sharp in your own box, clearances, blocks," said Iraola.
"But they send a lot of players forward so you will get spaces. In this kind of open game when you know there will be chances for both games, we spoke at half-time and needing more goals if we want to win.
"When you send so many threats it’s a matter of numbers, you have situations to attack 2-v-2, 3-v-2, 3-v-3, we were good in these moments. We knew they would make our wingers run backwards, but we knew when we could recover high our forwards would have space.
"We knew in transitions we would have our chances and we took them."
Iraola has now completed a rare double at Old Trafford, having won here as a player when he was captain of Athletic Bilbao, when Marcelo Bielsa's superb side beat Sir Alex Ferguson's United 3-2 in the Europa
